Donna Parker takes a giant step

the long version

It is a youth mystery series like Nancy Drew or Trixie Beldon. Donna's family enjoy the last week of their summer vacation by heading to Canada for a few days to catch up with some old family friends, the Stackhouses. Celebration ensues when the Stackhouses announce they will be moving to Summerfield, and their son, Jeff, travels back with the Parkers to commence school at the start of the term. Living with her brother and Jeff makes Donna's life complicated as she tries to immerse herself at her new school, try out for the cheerleading squad, deal with a friend moving away and meeting new people. Life is problematic for many in Summerfield with teenage parties getting out of control, but it appears that Jeff may hold the answer.
